RE ART SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL...........RE Fourth and fifth-grade students could sign up to participate in a 6-week after-school art club called Art School After School. In this particular lesson, participants painted a still life of flowers. Students learned and applied various painting techniques including underpainting, blending, tints, and shades. This club has allowed these students to discover new materials and techniques through small group instruction they don't otherwise use in class and has been an incredibly fun and enlightening opportunity for everyone.
RE Families, here is an update of events for the next couple of weeks. Don't forget to mark these events on your calendars:
OCT 9 thru 27 is our Tigeropoly
OCT 18 is our RE Culver's Teacher Night [share with your family and friends!]

Additionally, 1st-grade students at Raymore Elementary heard all about what it is like to be a Police Officer and School Resource Officer from our SRO, Officer Stephanie Hornbeck.
